Made bread and split pea soup yesterday so I’m good on dinner for a couple days. I’m hoping to find flour soon though! Last 2 weeks there was none to be found! I’ve got a little over 5 pounds left!

I made Instant Pot Bolognese sauce yesterday. We will have it for leftovers tonight.

I found 10 pounds of the Organic AP flour that walmart sells here on Saturday. I did have about 10 pounds still though

I’m thinking I’ll have to try Costco. I think they are doing a better job about preventing hoarding. Well, at least they’re used to supplying hoarders.

Have you ever tried to cancel cable? I ditched Dish a few years ago. The woman wouldn’t let me though. She kept trying to get me to stay, and demanding to know all kinds of personal things. She had me a sobbing mess, and I finally snapped when my pleas for her to let me go went unheeded. My goodness, I didn’t beg that much five years ago during the showdown when I saved Duckling, and lost our own baby! I finally started screaming at her, told her to cancel my service without me, and that I had better have a cancellation email within a short while (I probably said twenty minutes). I called, and spoke to a supervisor a few days later. I hope they actually recorded the call, and fired that woman.

I HEAR YOU ...We have a battle going with our Cable persons.....at our
Cottage. We this virus we are STAYING HOME and may not need to
continue the battle at this time. Aria

The dog says they are okay plain though.

I have found that dogs do not have a particularly picky palate

Another attempt at Sourdough. I think I need a smaller pan so the bread goes up instead of spreading.

I do all my bread in bread pans of some sort

I think you might be happier with the outcome.

I was wondering, what consistency is your starter? I made hamburger buns and they spread out like that. They had good flavor but they were too big around and didn't have much lift. Now I'm using a thicker starter and it seems happier. Another thing, does the recipe you're using call for yeast and starter? Adding some yeast can give the loaf more lift.
